There is a real disconnect between news flow on public companies and the value of the underlying businesses. The overwhelming majority of discussion is based on what may happen over the next year or so to create volatility in earnings, despite over 90% of intrinsic value depending on what happens after that. This provides opportunities for long-term, value-minded investors like us.

A day at the office

Access to Leadership

Harris employees have a high degree of exposure and opportunity. Our teams are not siloed, which allows us to work across departments with a wide variety of expertise.

We Feed More than Curiosity

Whether it’s coming together after hours to volunteer for a common cause, taking to the fields to play together in a summer softball league, or sharing personal stories and challenges at our daily free lunch, we are — first and foremost — peers. It’s through our daily interactions that we find opportunities to learn from one another’s disciplines, gain exposure to projects that we may be able to contribute to and solicit input from others based on their experiences.

Inspiring Perspectives

From views of Chicago’s lakefront and skyline to a thoughtfully designed workspace, our work environment supports an open view of the world at large.

Harris is one of the world’s largest value managers, yet has a family feel thanks to our inclusive culture.

Coming out of college, it was important for me to work at a company where my coworkers would challenge, inspire and help me become a better investor. Harris provides that. The amount of responsibility the firm gives its youngest employees is virtually unmatched in the industry. I know my ideas can have an impact on the portfolios.

—Katherine Gerdes, Research Associate

Our emerging and evolving leaders program allows me to further develop my skills and make a long-term investment in my future.

—Danny Nicholas, CFA, Client Portfolio Manager
